Drawing underrated prehistoric animals 5/?: Dicynodon, a therapsid from the Upper Permian period. They are rather well-known, but I love these potato creatures so much I don't think they receive enough love.

Therocephalians are another group of therapsids that made it into the Triassic. They were probably distributed throughout Pangea during the Early Triassic. One genus (Moschorhinus) is believed to have survived the Permian extinction

Only three groups of Synapsids/therapsids survived the end-Permian mass extinction event into the Early Triassic: dicynodonts (top), therocephalians (center), and cynodonts (bottom). Only the latter (our relatives) survived into the Jurassic.

For the slide that started our paper in Proc B! A jaw cross-section of a therapsid shows some teeth fused in place and others suspended in sockets. That's because they are two stages in the lifecycle of a typical tooth! Mammals keep teeth in the "earlier" stage.

For here is a gif showing how backbone regionalization changed during mammal evolution. The highly modular structure of mammals has allowed them to adapt to diverse environments and move in many different ways. Thanks for paving the way non-mammalian therapsids!

Fee Fitzsimmons was an NPC for five seconds and then we fell in love with her and now we’re keeping her (also she has a crush on ’s burple cleric Drell). I wasn’t sold on 5e puppynose but I added therapsid and gecko to the brew and here we are.

Its and since I am including a few size charts in my book, here is the one I am still working on for therapsids of the Triassic and Jurassic. Size comparison with a 1.8 m human. they were not huge but many were not super tiny either.

For once again I do not present you a mammal but a distant relative. The Dicynodont Angonisaurus cruickshanki from Mid Triassic (Anisian) Manda Beds (Tanzania). have become my favorite therapsids to reconstruct for my book!

WIP Its so here is an indeterminate Sinokannemeyeriine dicynodont from the Lipovskaya Fm. Not a mammal nor a cynodont but a distant relative therapsid from Early Triassic (Olenekian) Russia. One of the approx. 20 spp that will appear in my book
